Christophe Kenner (December 25, 1929 – January 25, 1976) was an American, New Orleans–based R&Bsinger and songwriter, best known for two hit singles in the early 1960s, “I Like It Like That” and “Land of 1000 Dances“, which became staples in the repertoires of many other musicians.

Born on Christmas Day, in the farming community of Kenner, Louisiana, upriver from New Orleans,Kenner sang gospel music with his church choir. He moved to New Orleans when he was in his teens, to work as a stevedore.

In 1955 he made his first recordings, for a small label, Baton Records, without success. In 1957, he recorded his “Sick and Tired” for Imperial Records. Kenner’s recording reached No. 13 on the BillboardR&B chart. Fats Domino covered it the next year, and his version became a hit on the pop chart.“Rocket to the Moon” and “Life Is Just a Struggle”, both cut for Ron Records, were other notable songs Kenner recorded in this period.
